'Wild Hogs' Helmer Walt Becker Exits ICM

CAA, William Morris and Paradigm are hot on this director's trail. But I'm told CAA has been swarming him since Wild Hogs was big so Walt Becker is probably going there. Why isn't Endeavor on this list? Because insiders say the tenpercentery sidelined him when he was cold after Van Wilder, and ICM helped him get back heat.

  1. Great job Walt Becker’s manager in getting this posted on Nikki Finke’s blog! You totally earned your 15%

  2. :( another example of a person believing his own hype…
    or rather the hype that Disney Marketing can whip up
    good luck being 5th on the totem pole!

  6. ICM has become quite the joke these days. The last 5 years has been like watching a passenger jet at 30k feet separately lose each of its engines…then wings…then tail, as it is headed for the mountainside.

    Those new owners really know how to drive a company into the ground…and not how to keep agents/clients.

  7. Good move. Becker is a real talent and will eventually branch beyond comedy into deeper material which is where his real talent lies. remember he was a successful novelist first before making his name as a comedy director
